Two questions. The mushrooms off of my cakes are only 1/2 inch to 1 inch and the veil has broke on a few. They just all look pretty small. Is this normal. I had christmas lights resting on the top to raise the heat to 75 and I think they might have dried the cakes out a bit becasue they have blued some. Could this be a factor?Also I have seen pictures of people who have grown mushrooms right out of the tupperware containers used to house cakes and making a casing out of the whole container. How many cakes is that for a ten gallon conatiner. I know you want about an inch 1/2 to 2 inches substrate.

Quote:i can only answer your last wuestion. you want more than 2 inches of subtrate. optimum is closer to 8 inches. you'll ahve even more small shrooms if you only use 2 inches of substrate =(

Maybe I missed what your saying, but 8 inches is way to much in my opinion... even at 2 inches I'd consider that on the thick side. My verm casings have been about an inch at the bottom and an inch at the top.

he meant have one layer of verm on the bottom,your crumbled cake in the middle,and another verm layer on top..
